Which Phono Pre?


Current system:
Dr. Feickert Blackbird TT
Kuzma 4-Point tonearm
Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge

Phono pre’s under consideration:
Pass Labs XP-27
Modwright PH-150
Luxman EQ 500
Wheat Audio PS.40RDT

What do you think would be the best match? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If you've got a low impedance cartridge like the Koetsu RSP, I'd opt for the LCR type phonostage like the Allnic 7000 HV.  I'm currently using an ARC Ref 2SE phonostage and although perfectly happy with the performance, my next phonostage will be the LCR type.

@jjgasp  - do you have an update for us?  Very interested to hear what cart you ended up going with and what led to that decision.

Thanks.
